Updated issue fact sheets highlight opportunities for the Senate to invest in a safe, healthy and thriving Ohio.

The Ohio House’s version of the 2018-19 state budget bill passed last week was a mixed bag for Ohio’s health and human services. We support the House’s choice to invest in a response to the state’s opiate crisis, including increased funding for county children services, bolster funding for the Ohio Housing Trust Fund, and maintain coverage for the Medicaid expansion population. But the bill missed other opportunities to invest in programs and supports that strengthen families, communities, and the economy.

AOF’s updated state budget issue fact sheets highlight opportunities for the Senate to ensure that all Ohioans are safe, have good jobs and can afford the basics.
